Rounton Coffee Roasters, North
Yorkshire
We combined Rounton’s Great Taste Award
Bosque Lya with our own Haiti 75% that has
won the Gold Award by the Academy of
Chocolate.
Bosque Lya from El Salvador is a washed,
natural red bourbon with flavour notes of
Hazelnut, Plum, Milk Chocolate, Redcurrant,
Brazil Nut. The Haiti compliments beautifully
as it is very rich with Dark Roasted and
Hazelnuts.

I thought would try something different with
this one to make a ‘white chocolate mocha’.
We used an espresso shot of Guatemala Finca
La Bolsa from North Star with three tablets of
our Ivory Coast White. Both are excellent
drinks in own right, but paired together the
vanilla and smoothness of the white chocolate
emphasises the heights of the espresso.
Final result has a silky texture and is like a
dessert in a cup! The espresso brings ‘Dark
Chocolate, Cherry, Pecan’ with hints of
Marzipan and the white chocolate a Creamy
Vanilla.

Finally this is a traditional type of Mocha
called a Bicerin, that originated in Turin in
1703, where it is a speciality to this day.
It’s more an experience than just a drink.
Like the mochas we know it’s made of
espresso, hot chocolate and milk or
cream, but the novelty lies in the way that
its served - layered in a small rounded
glass or, as I love it, arriving
‘deconstructed’, a single espresso shot, a
mini hot chocolate in espresso cup, a
tablet of chocolate to eat and whipped
cream to help yourself on the side.
We tried the Vagabond Tanzania Arusha
espresso with its sweet flavour notes of
Toasted Marshmallow, Red Grape,
Chocolate Gateau and for the hot
chocolate our Organic Peru 70% which is
Fruity with Cherry Jam so both pair
perfectly with each other and the cream.
